Books
Barker's probate inventory includes 62 titles, and ca.75 volumes in all, valued at £2 6s 7d (from a total estate valued at £25 19s 4d). The books are largely in Latin, with some Greek and one French one, covering theology, classics, medicine and other topics; he presumably came from a relatively affluent background, to have so many books as an undergraduate. The full inventory is edited as Leedham-Green no.40 (see full citation below).
